Powerball Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Dropped down to 9 at Metro this morning but we had clouds all night, the luxury of living downwind of the lakes. Are you sure about that? Most of the areas outside the thumb were completely clear all night last night. http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KYIP.html http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KDTW.html http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KDET.html I think it had more to do with the breezy conditions (which kept the atmosphere mixed) than cloud cover. Detroit City Airport got down ot 8*F from 12*F, but we were clear all night. And as for the afternoon stratus that you guys out at Metro airport had, I recall it diminishing immediately after sunset (even observation suggest FEW-SCT conditions all night, which is still good for radiational cooling when the winds are calm).

Jim Martin Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Findlay went all the way down to +2°F for a low temperature last night. It will warm up here today to a balmy 20°F. Lows tonight may get down into the single digits above zero again. Welcome to winter lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am sure, and I am basing it upon KDTW's obs that had few/sct conditions through the night. Yes the winds were also a helper but the lower clouds albeit few in nature would help keep the temps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Already down to -1. The clouds are taking longer to get in here, so temps have cooled off more than expected. Big contrast in temps over a short area. -6 at Sterling, while 35 miles southwest it's 14 at Moline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 3 or 4 runs in a row the GFS is indicating a more progressive pattern after 300 hours. Could get toasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The past few runs the GEM has shown a system next Monday capable of spreading a wide swath of 2-4" type snows over much of the central and southern Midwest. The GFS showed something similar on the 12z, but lost it to some extent on the new run. Nothing all that exciting, but it's all I see in the near term beyond tomorrow's clipper.

snowstormcanuck Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 baroclinic_instability does a nice job of cutting us down in the NE subforum. 3 years removed, but I still feel like an old fart sometimes. In met, I guess, 3 years experience might as well be 20 in most other fields. I think I will be heading to the threads over here more often. No offense to my central/western forum (they are quite good overall), but we don't get into much discussion beyond "this model has this, this model has that, therefore my forecast is this" with no discussion on why or what is actually happening. Yeah, the discussion produced by CT_Blizz and Weatherwiz is great. They're budding meteorology phenoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 This is new, I think. It figures that the Canadian would be the first to catch the Roger Smith storm. I don't want to keep harping on it, but I am interested in his "celestial methodology", as you put it the other day. Hey, right now it's the only thing this part of the country has to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
